Mike Easton - Guest Expert on Sub-meters and Smart Meters
"The Benefits of Sub-meters and Smart Metres"
Mike Easton, QMC Metering Solutions
Mike Easton of QMC Metering Solutions will be presenting the benefits of two proven green technologies: sub-meters and smart meters. Sub-metering can be used in multi-tenant properties where all electricity, gas or water consumers are paying a flat rate. Sub-metering ensures all consumers are now paying for what they use, thereby encouraging energy conservation and promoting equitable utility billing. Studies have shown that sub-metering reduces a property’s electricity consumption by 18-25%. Smart meters allow energy users to record and analyze details of their energy consumption. They can then pinpoint behaviors or processes (ie- machines and appliances) that are using excessive amounts of energy. Consumers can then conduct energy efficiency retrofits or programs to save in these areas.
Bio - Mike Easton was born and raised in Coquitlam, BC and received a Bachelor of Business Administration at Simon Fraser University.
